      I’m not sure, I don’t use the software center at all. How long have you let it run for? It is possible that there is just a bunch of processing going on to update after removing the cdrom sources list.

      You might find some additional information in /var/log/apt/term.log. Watching that log file while launching the software center might provide additional insight.

      tail -f /var/log/apt/term.log

        when triggered via terminal,logfile is ending,before the center can even be launched.
        so,how can that log file be watched,while the software center is launching?

                Ah, I didn’t understand. “Log ended” means that the run completed. I’m glad you’ve got a resolution. Usually Linux is pretty good about not needing a reboot.
